GENERAL INFORMATION

IP Addresses

Generally speaking, you may visit the Site while remaining anonymous and not revealing any personal information.

BFO uses your IP address to help diagnose problems with the Site servers, to administer the Site, to monitor Site usage, and to gather broad demographic information. Your IP address is used to help identify you and to aid in your navigation through the Site as determined by your customisation options, if any. BFO also may aggregate the IP address with other information to create anonymous Site statistics. BFO does not, however, use your IP address to collect personal information about you.

Submission and Use of Personal Information

BFO Generally

Certain portions of the Site require that you submit some personal information, such as your name and a valid email address, before using those portions of the Site.

BFO uses that information to provide the services you select or the services set by default when you register, and also to assist BFO with the administration of the Site. BFO may also use all information from your current or past activities to assist with troubleshooting any problems, detecting fraud, resolving disputes, and for any purposes deemed necessary or required by BFO to enforce the Terms of Use and other terms or conditions applicable to any portion of the Site.

In addition, if you give BFO permission, BFO may use the information you submit to send you information about BFO, or other topics BFO thinks may be of interest to you. You will typically be asked for your permission at the time you initially register for BFO membership, or when you later sign up for a particular service. Some services are provided by default when you register for BFO membership. BFO may also use the information to contact you directly to request your permission after you register or sign up for a service.

You can revise your Member Profile and Member Preferences to request information or services you had initially declined, or option out of any request for information or services you initially requested, or option out of any request for information or services set by default when you register for BFO membership.

You may decline to receive informational mailings from BFO. However, BFO reserves the right, even if you decline to receive informational mailings or cancel your account, to use the information you previously provided to contact you about administrative matters relating to your use of the Site (or any portion or service of the Site), your member account or about any issues relating to the Terms of Use, this Privacy Policy, or any other policy then in-effect.

BFO and Third Parties

BFO does not, without your prior permission, distribute to third parties information you have submitted to this Site that identifies you personally. BFO may at times provide to you the option of permitting BFO to provide certain personal information to BFO business partners. You will usually be asked for your permission when you sign up for the service. BFO may also request your permission after you sign up for a service.

BFO will provide you with the ability to option out of any service that you have signed up for at anytime, including such services that require your personal information to be distributed to third parties, and will to its best ability remove your details from that service and service providers mailing list.

On occasion, BFO may offer in conjunction with third parties certain services that may require you (or BFO) to share your personal information with that third party as a condition for providing that service. Participation in that service will be voluntary and any specific rules or intended use for your information will be provided to you before you decide to participate in that service. While BFO will treat any information it receives in accordance with this Privacy Policy, BFO will not be responsible for the information submitted by you to that third party, and BFO reminds you to review the applicable rules and any third party's applicable privacy policies separately before participating in such service.

Law Enforcement and Posted Information Exceptions

As noted in the Terms of Use BFO intends to cooperate with any order or request from law enforcement officials or a court of competent jurisdiction for information as to the identity of individuals submitting or posting information to BFO or on this Site. Such orders or requests supercede the terms of this Privacy Policy. Another exception applies to any information you decide to post in one of the Site's public forums.

Aggregation and Use of Anonymous Data

BFO does aggregate all information provided by you to create anonymous statistical and demographic data. This anonymous data helps BFO to understand and know the Site's customer base better. That anonymous data may be provided to third parties, such as advertisers or BFO business associates, but never in such a fashion as to identify you personally.

Public Forums for Posted Information

Certain portions of the Site are designed to offer you the opportunity to post information on the Site, including but not limited to information about yourself ("Posted Information").

Please remember that any Posted Information becomes public information and you should exercise caution when deciding to disclose your personal information. If you decide to post any information, that Posted Information is exempt from this Privacy Policy.

This Site contains links to third party sites, including but not limited to sites operated by BFO business associates. BFO is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those web sites. Please be sure to review the privacy policies of those sites. From time to time, this Site displays advertisements or information and links to third parties. These advertisements or links may contain cookies placed by those third parties. BFO is not responsible for how those advertisements, the web sites to which they are linked, or how any other linked sites, may use their own cookies. For example, cookies received with banner ads may be collected by the company posting the ad on our Site. Again, please refer to that company's privacy policy for further information.

From time to time, BFO may have access to the information gathered by those third party sites or advertisers. If that information identifies you personally, BFO intends to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Surveys and Contests

From time to time BFO may make online surveys available to users of the Site. Participation in those surveys is voluntary. Some online surveys may ask participants for personal information, such as an email address, in addition to requesting answers to survey questions. BFO may use that personal information to contact the participant if necessary, or to send the participant information about BFO, or other topics BFO thinks will interest the participant. BFO may make the results of any survey publicly available, although BFO will not attribute any particular response to you without your permission. Participants may opt-out of receiving future informational mailings from BFO.

On occasion BFO may make available to users of the Site contests in which they may qualify for participation. Participation is always voluntary and subject to the applicable contest rules. The contest may ask participants to provide personal information as a condition of participation. BFO may use that information to contact the participant with regard to the contest itself, or when otherwise necessary. BFO may also use that information to send participants information about BFO, or other topics BFO thinks will interest the participant. Finally, BFO may make the names of contest winners public, as provided in the rules of such contests, or as required by applicable state or federal law. Participants may opt-out of receiving future mailings from BFO. In some instances, the applicable contest rules may contain additional or different uses for the information you provide; please be sure to review those rules carefully before entering.

BFO may permit a third party to sponsor a survey or contest with BFO, or post its own surveys or contests on the BFO Site. Such surveys or contests are governed solely by any applicable rules, and may require you to provide information to that third party as a condition for participation. While BFO will treat any information it receives in accordance with this Privacy Policy, BFO is not responsible for the information gathered by that third party, and BFO reminds you to review the rules and privacy policies separately applicable to those surveys or contests.

General Issues

Generally speaking, this Site has security measures in place to protect against the loss, misuse and alteration of the information under our control.

BFO Registration

In many cases, you may be prompted to register with the Site to undertake a particular Site activity or obtain a particular service. As part of that registration, you are asked to choose your own password. BFO reminds you to protect your password, and not provide it to others to use. Allowing others to access and use your account and password can compromise the security of your information. BFO disclaims any responsibility or obligation for your decision to provide your password to third parties.
